They were sold out this summer. More and more people want to know their aura, the human energy expressed through different colors. Today, there are measuring devices that detect the energy fields around human bodies and, in alternative medicine, help healers identify the causes of individual distress. Benedikta has this ability. The device that measures a person's aura and her "third eye" shows an almost identical picture. The lack of flow of energy reflects the diseases and problems within us. But what do the individual colors mean, what they tell us, had to be learned. There are many years of education for Benedikta and her mother, Dragica. Benedikta recently became a master of holistic healing. We have already presented the mother poet in our magazine, this time together with Benedikta, who bears a significant name- blessed.
One of the first rainy and cold days was when we first met. Firstly, they sensed the cold in me. This was followed by warming up from the inside with ginger tea. They waited until it had cooled enough to add lemon and honey. And Belgian dark chocolate was offered on the serving table. Dragica wrapped a green woolen blanket around my waist and wrapped another one in lilac shades around her stomach. "Blankets not only keep us warm, but they can also protect us, and Benedikta and I protect ourselves this way," she said. There was beef soup on the stove in the kitchen, which had been simmering for eight hours over moderate heat.
In addition, Dragica said how much collagen is necessary for women of our age, around 50, and that no tablet can replace it as nicely as a homemade beef soup cooked for a long time with beef bones. When everything was arranged, they sat me down in front of a white background because that way, Benedikta could perceive the aura more clearly. Meanwhile, Dragica told me how important it is that we do not allow ourselves to get cold from the inside at this time of year and that this should be an immediate alarm. When Benedikta announced the end, I could sit back on the sofa, drink a few sips of tea, and listen to them. Dragica, a kind of volcano of energy, sat down in a yogic position and "translated" Benedikta's vision into a language I could understand; this confirmed what I knew about my body.
Benedikta. The essence of her life is hidden in the name. Blessed. She only spent the first ten months in Slovenia, then because of her father's job, they moved- first to Spain and then to Belgium. She went to a Spanish and a European school in Belgium, but they always spoke Slovenian at home. Correct Slovenian, so Benedikta efficiently uses the dual form. Her voice has a special sound, and the sentences spoken with a certain sensuality and respect are like traces of a time that is no longer there. As a reasonable observer, she quickly realized how ‘attracted’ Slovenians are towards foreigners, whom we consider superior, however not really those coming from ex-Yugo nations. She also observed how contemptuous we can be towards ourselves, our language, our identity, and our people, which is why on many occasions so that she would not be humiliated (because of her academic Slovenian skills or if she didn't understand something) spoke to her compatriots in foreign languages. Since her father spent most of his time traveling due to his high diplomatic career, her mother, Dragica, dealt with Benedikta's development (she also has a brother Emanuel). Both Benedikta and Emanuel were educated outside of Slovenia. Still, contrary to most Slovenians who are educated in our country and then go to work abroad, they want to share their experience and knowledge with Slovenians. Benedikta recently received her master's degree in holistic medicine. At the school, officially called the Alternative Medicine College of Canada, she specialized in bioenergetics and traditional Chinese medicine.
She has seen auras since she was little. Benedikta perceived the invisible world from an early age. She was lucky to have a person by her side who did not make fun of her abilities but genuinely marveled at it. She supported and guided her and stood by her side in her fears and particular perceptions. And that person was her mother. It was not easy for Benedikta in the school system, especially since she "saw through" what was sometimes said. She had to learn to pretend and act invisible later. That is why she kept quiet most of the time. She could perceive colors around people. Along with humans, other species live among us.
How should she tell that to the teacher behind the desk? Dyscalculia (like the more widespread dyslexia, except that numbers and basic mathematical operations are mixed up) was the only diagnosis that was given to her. But not an adapted curriculum. Her mother quickly realized that Benedikta, with all the shortcomings the school system perceived in her, was actually a child with blessings. Blessed. They had the opportunity to begin researching her visions. These perceptions came in handy in the alternative medicine school she completed this year. When she took the entrance exams for psychology at the University in Madrid, she was at the top, according to the results.
Coordinated mother-daughter collaboration
"We complement each other extremely well. That's why we can work together. We exchange perceptions and feelings," says Dragica, who does not see colors the way Benedikta does, but she perceives energy in her hands and feels all blockages as physical pain. This is also how Benedikta perceives, and then these energy deficits or lack of flow are balanced, relaxed, and grounded with reiki. "When energy blockages are removed, the body heals itself". Both have an intense indigo color in their aura. They say this is rare, but it shows that they know how to listen to each other and can follow their intuition. They say that many of us can listen to everyone else but ourselves. Gold is also scarce among the colors in the auric field. Only a few have it; usually children somewhere up to the age of ten, and often with special needs. Most of them also have white, the color of clairvoyance, in the field. These children have different knowledge and perceptions. Society should build a new learning system for them so that they can develop their talents. Perhaps they are our saviors, the ones who will raise the consciousness of our civilization.
Children with special educational needs are often children with extraordinary gifts. "Look, mom, this lady is going to die soon. There are no more colors around her. I can only see black." Or: "Mom, my teacher, pretending to be nice, has so much dark red around him that I can't even look at him. And he blocks me when he's around me." Mother Dragica, who once gave up her academic career so her husband could assume responsible positions, devoted herself to her daughter. Everything comes in handy, including the fact that she is a poet. Ignored in the Slovenian space for many years, but in recent years her poetry is beginning to reach a wider circle of readers, especially women. Right in the middle of writing this article, she was nominated for the first time for the MIRA Literary Award as a poet.
"The aura contains us, our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and even our talents. The energies of our ancestors. Clairvoyance. Genius. And all the energy blockades and non-flow."
They treated thrombosis and sciatica first at home; they had excellent results with fibromyalgia syndrome.
Benedikta sits relaxed in an armchair for most of the interview. A person feels that they are gently "examined" all the time, but it is possible to get used to this "scanner" in human form. First, they mention Dragica's mother, who had diabetes and several related cardiovascular diseases. Dragica’s mother should have gone under the knife for thrombosis with open wounds on the leg and half a leg in bandages. However, with Dragica’s help, the progression of the disease stopped, and her mom was walking again. Dragica, who is, among other things, a passionate dancer, remembers severe sciatica that attacked her after a strenuous workout. “It was August in the middle of Madrid. All orthopedists were on vacation. Reiki did not help. I asked Benedikta to connect with her guides. She was instructed to treat me with salt and water. After the first therapy, I felt a 60% improvement. "
Benedikta massaged salt into her painful areas; since then, she has helped many people with salt. She sees pain points and blockages and rubs them with salt and water. She is fully guided here. And now that she knows the energy points according to Chinese classical medicine, she also knows why she should massage those very points. On a physical level, the pain subsides immediately. They also have much success with people with fibromyalgia and skeletal-muscular syndrome; when you wake up stiff in the morning, you are often tired, your muscles and joints ache, you have trouble falling asleep, and you keep lacking energy. If you find yourself in this situation, Benedikta and Dragica are the correct address.
How else can you protect yourself and change your aura to repel psychological "pests" on its own? In addition to what has already been said, there is also ginger tea and much turmeric in these times, as well as taking care of your emotions. Do not drown in resentment. Avoid gossiping. Away with judgment! Let's do what really makes us happy. This is where the energy is hidden.

When the mother is well, the child is well. Recently, many mothers of children with so-called special needs are turning to them, as well as with children who fell into depression. Their care, their advice, and their therapy help. "If a mother comes with a child, we first help the mother. The child has the energy record of the mother in it—a special energy connection. And if a mother has problems, so does her child. The health of the mother affects the health of the child. "When the mother heals, when the mother is well, the child can also recover," Dragica says that it would be best if the energy bond between mother and child were to break after one year. If the mother is still breastfeeding, then the period is slightly longer. Puberty is the last time a child releases this energy. If this liberation does not occur, it has disastrous consequences for both, says Dragica. The relationship between mother and child is fundamental to all other relationships in life. And to be healthy, it is good to be energetically independent and flowing. They worked until the last hour when they were leaving Slovenia to return to Brussels. But now they have different "patients"; they joke a little. Many who work in European institutions turn to her, especially some secretaries who are perfect on the outside but broken and burned out on the inside, who have to carry so much weight and imbalances of their superiors. The effect of their therapy is long-lasting.
What resonated most with me was how important it is to react to the cold in the body as quickly as possible, so after arriving home, I went to the butcher. I cooked a beef soup until late into the night. Our aura is more colorful when we are warm... Well, what's more, Dragica and Benedikta rarely eat meat, but they don't give up a homemade beef soup.
